Watchman's Call

"Watchman, What of the Night?" - The Ancient Question Echoes Today

From Isaiah's Vision to Modern Warning: A Prophetic Declaration

"Watchman's Call" emerges from the timeless prophecy of Isaiah 21:11-12, where the urgent question "Watchman, what of the night?" resonates throughout the centuries. This dramatic rock ballad bridges ancient biblical warnings with contemporary signs of Christ's return.

Set against the backdrop of global upheaval - trembling nations, celestial signs, and increasing tribulations - the song captures the dual nature of the watchman's response: "Morning comes, but also the night." This paradoxical message carries both warning and hope, challenging listeners to spiritual vigilance while offering the promise of dawn to those who seek truth.

Lyrics

Nations wait in fear and dread
Asteroid blazes overhead
Earth splits, America trembles
New plagues force us to scramble

A grievous vision declared to me
The spoiler spoils, no peace to see
My heart pants, fear takes hold
The night of pleasure turns cold

Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, how long till light?
Morning comes, but so does dark
If you seek, then heed this mark

In the shadows, we hide and run
But there's hope when all seems done
A true light has come to earth
To all who believe, a new birth

Pain grips like a woman in labor
Dismayed by sights, no time to savor
The treacherous deal, the mighty fall
But listen close, hear the watchman's call

Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, how long till light?
Morning comes, but so does dark
If you seek, then heed this mark

If you live in darkness, know
There's a light, a guiding glow
He came to shine on everyone
Believe, and be God's daughter or son

Watchman, what of the night?
Dawn breaks, Christ is the light
Though darkness lingers, hold on tight
His return will make all things right

Watchman says: "Night's nearly gone,
Christ is coming, it won't be long"

Biblical Foundation:

The song draws its core message from Isaiah 21:11-12, where the watchman's dialogue becomes a template for prophetic warning throughout the ages. This ancient exchange between seeker and watchman perfectly captures the tension of our current moment - darkness present, yet morning approaching.

This isn't merely a song; it's a prophetic tool calling believers to:

Spiritual alertness in crucial times
Recognition of biblical signs
Preparation for Christ's return
Hope amidst growing darkness
Active engagement in God's end-time purposes

As nations wait in fear and signs multiply, "Watchman's Call" stands as both warning and beacon, calling believers to heightened spiritual vigilance while anchoring them in the hope of Christ's return.
